What a witch.
Why did Trump even answer that “question” instead of berating the Biden stooge who posed it?
A never-Trumper is the 3rd most powerful Republican in the house.
Even if the GOP retakes the house, how is Trump supposed to get anything done?
With an honest, and lawful, and certified election result, there will be a peaceful transition of power in 2021.
No one should doubt that.
The play that they are pursuing (and Cheney is helping) is that the Democrats will cheat, just declare themselves the winner and force their way into power in an unpeaceful way. That’s not something anyone should agree to.
Election integrity takes precedence in the constitution you stupid traitorous bitch
Lets assume Trump wins and serves until January 2025
Hes just one man. Do people like Liz Cheney then return to power in the GOP?
And how many times did she criticized the Democrats for saying the same thing?
“Wyoming U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney Joins Bipartisan Rebuke of President”
Bipartisan = Uniparty
Liz needs to join Ruth as worm food.
Oh, come on people!!!!! He never said he wouldn’t step down. He said “we’ll have to see what happens” ... meaning let’s wait until we have an election. This is ridiculous!
What we got from the Democrats the last election was open sedition.
Agreed. This wasn't trolling - this was just ill advised. He should have berated the person who asked the question and moved on.
Remember when ALgore challenged the Florida vote count and tried to deny Dubya and HER FATHER the election?
Maybe, in her opinion, they just should have let Algore and Joementum keep the stolen presidency?
I mean rather than face the challenge, fight it, and win. That would be treason, is what I hear her saying.
What a witch is right. If Trump has agreed to a peaceful transfer in his statement, the press would have done article on Trump is conceding. Those are just horrible questions to answer.
He could have just ignored it but it would have been asked and asked and they would have destroyed him in the press for not answering.
I agree with him.
If he loses on Nov 3-4 the transition should likely be peaceful.
If he loses any day after the 4th, he shouldn’t step down.
Well, that's not happening.
So people better learn to respond to her 'stuff with facts and argument that make Cheney embarrassed for acting as she is.
Exactly...That was the smartest and most honest thing he could’ve said....
Right Scoop is right on. This is another appalling media-driven event that attempts to project onto the president what is actually taking place on the Biden side. Moreover, it will inflame the crazies even more. https://t.co/exzRzeOxBs— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 25, 2020
